Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells.
By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons.
Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.

Answer:
<em>The three gases, in the three identical containers, will all have the same number of molecules</em>
Explanation:
If these three gases (Helium He, Neon Ne, and Oxygen 
) are all contained in separate identical containers with the same volume. And they are all stored at the same temperature, and pressure. Then, they'll all contain the same number of molecules. This is in line with Avogadro's law which states that "Equal volume of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules."
It’s charge was neutral due to the equal number of protons and electrons. when it becomes an ion it loses 3 electrons leaving behind only 10. the answer is 10. the equation is +13 +(-10)=+3
